I actually had nuggets and mostly Asian food when I was at the Olympics. But as soon as I got back to Jamaica, or when I was in London, I had a lot of wings. That was the first thing I asked for - Hey, get me some wings.
Usain Bolt
I try to live my life to the best, but I just always preach that you should just work hard and do your best.
Usain Bolt
I looked up to Don Quarrie and Michael Johnson when I was younger. They were the best in the 200m which was my main event growing up.
